M Monkeyman Tiki Socialite Vista, CA Joined: Mar 04, 2003 Posts: 2386	M Monkeyman Posted posted on 04/20/2006 Finally finished a frame for Bongofury. It was my first frame of several for TikiTony artwork. Tried to be extra careful with matching color schemes and textures. This is the original artwork but I dont have it to install (maybe some finished pics from Bongofury) I did some more experimentation with adding blocks of wood to the outside of the frame and also to the inside perimeter also (see hanging plants) THANK YOU Bongofury.

M Monkeyman Tiki Socialite Vista, CA Joined: Mar 04, 2003 Posts: 2386	M Monkeyman Posted posted on 04/21/2006 Loki, I do sketch the piece before carving. Sometimes its a real detailed sketch and sometimes its just a placeholder to maintain symmetry. You can see the whole process on my website http://www.monkeymandesign.com Thanks for the positive vibes everybody. It makes the long hours and drudgery of some carving worth it. Heck Im just trying to keep up around here. Kirby, Lake Surfer, Benzart, Kiegs, Basement, Ona..... sheesh its like a talent show...
T tikitony Tiki Socialite Ventura, CA Joined: Aug 18, 2002 Posts: 861	T tikitony Posted posted on 04/21/2006 Holy smOkes Monkeyman! It looks fantastic! You capture the "tikitony" but also unleashed the "monkeyman" on it. It's a great merge of our work. You nailed it! The carving is all your own, and its amazing! I'm quite envious of your intricate vision and execution. That toucan looks like it flew out of one of my paintings, through your mind and landed on the frame! Great work! Now, who's gonna frame your frame?

B bongofury Grand Member (6 years) Ventura County Joined: Oct 15, 2002 Posts: 1565	B bongofury Posted posted on 04/21/2006 Very cool Monkeyman. Definately a work of art in itself. When Derek asked what I wanted it to look like, I just asked him not to put the Tiki in the frame. The rest is all MMs hard work and creative talent with inspiration from Tikitony's art. Looking forward to seeing the frame in person.
T teaKEY Tiki Socialite The thumb ! Joined: Nov 09, 2004 Posts: 3687	T teaKEY Posted posted on 04/21/2006 I was just thinking, thats a soild one piece frame? Right? If so, thats not too common is it?
M Monkeyman Tiki Socialite Vista, CA Joined: Mar 04, 2003 Posts: 2386	M Monkeyman Posted posted on 04/21/2006 It is not a solid one piece frame. Its a regular frame (4 sides) that I constructed and then glued on the additional blocks to the interior and exterior edge.
